4 servings
This creamy roasted red pepper soup with smokey gouda is intensely flavorful with a hint of smokey taste in the background.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 medium or ¾ cup White onion

    Or Yellow, chopped

  • 2 cloves Garlic

    minced

  • 1 stalk Celery

    chopped

  • 2 jars or 4 medium Roasted red peppers

    16 oz

  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper powder
  • Salt
    to taste
  • 3 cups Vegetable broth
  • ½ cup Heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup Smoked gouda cheese

    grated

  • Parsley

    or Cilantro, for garnishing

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot add onion, celery and garlic. Sprinkle a little salt to speed up the cooking process. Stir and saute till onions are soft and translucent.

  2. 2

    Now add roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, pepper, remaining salt and vegetable stock. Stir well to combine everything.

  3. 3

    Let it simmer for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Transfer the mixture into the blender and blend it until smooth. Be careful when blending hot stuff. Or you can use an immersion hand blender (in my opinion it does not make soup silky smooth).

  5. 5

    Again bring it to a simmer on low heat, add heavy cream and mix.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle gouda cheese and stir until melted. It is ready to serve.

About this Recipe

Craving a deeply comforting, intensely flavorful soup that feels gourmet yet comes together effortlessly? This Roasted Red Pepper Soup with Gouda is your answer, delivering a restaurant-quality experience in just 30 minutes.

Why This Soup Works

What makes this roasted red pepper soup truly special is the harmonious blend of sweet, smoky, and creamy notes. The smoked gouda cheese isn't just an afterthought; it's a star player, infusing every spoonful with a rich, distinctive smokiness that perfectly complements the naturally sweet roasted red peppers. Combined with fragrant garlic, fresh celery, and a touch of smoked paprika, you get a complex flavor profile without any fuss.

What to Expect

Prepare for a velvety smooth, creamy roasted red pepper soup that wraps you in warmth from the very first bite. The texture is luxurious, thanks to the heavy whipping cream and the thorough blending of the roasted red peppers. You'll taste the bright, slightly sweet essence of the red peppers, beautifully grounded by the savory notes of onion and celery, and that unmistakable, subtle hint of smoky gouda. It's a comforting and satisfying dish that feels both wholesome and indulgent.

Customization & Variations

This recipe is wonderfully adaptable. For the base, feel free to use either white onion or yellow onion, depending on what you have on hand. If you're looking to elevate the smoky undertone even further, consider a pinch more smoked paprika to taste. When it comes to garnishing, fresh parsley or cilantro both provide a beautiful pop of color and a fresh counterpoint to the rich soup.

Serving & Context

This robust and creamy soup is perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a sophisticated lunch. Serve it with a crusty piece of bread for dipping, or a simple green salad to complete the meal. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro and an extra grating of smoked gouda make for an inviting presentation.
